Burrowing Larvae

With no drill arms and less armor, Burrowing Larvae are slightly less dangerous than their grown-up relatives... but only slightly. In order to solidify their place in the hive, the larvae precede their elders in the tunnels, soaking the ground with acidic saliva to make digging easier for the adults. This saliva can also be used as a defense mechanism, to protect the precious larval energy that the immature Horrors hold within them.
